for those of you that have done an SRT8 suspension swap

Im thinking of getting a full SRT8 suspension (shocks and springs) to lower the car 1" for the 22s... Either that, or Mopar springs.. since neither of the 2 will void the warranty.

I was just wondering:
1) how much to get it installed?
2) any additional parts other than the shocks and springs?
3) Since the v6 engine is ligther, I know the front wont sit as much, but does it look weird?

This is going on a 2.7 v6.....

I can only find some info from threads...

SRT-8 Suspension swap problems

Something in another thread about different spring mounts causing some problems.

Not much, but then I can't find many here who did that particular swap, as most just put in lowering springs or other stuff like coilovers.

bump, id like some info...

i was told the ride might be bouncy since the srt8 suspension is meant for a heavier engine...

by the way, how much to install Mopar springs? I was told the front alone takes 4 hours at $100 an hour.... :x

Bump, I would like some info myself as I see one of our members is selling his take off srt suspension.So the 300c and srt8 suspension should be a straight across swap?
I haven't put in my dues yet so I cannot access the seller yet, I hope it will still be available later!

I spent $500. to have my Hotchkis sway and KWv2's installed notincluding alignment. I found some cheeper but that's not always the best deal.

Anyone want to buy some SRT springs and struts?

crhemi, what's the milage on your suspension? My thoughs were to install the srt shocks/springs and the Hotchkis sways. I believe the stock 300c sways are softer than the srt to begin with so the finished product should be more than sufficient for now.
